Is there any additional input on this one?

During boot-up (or shutdown), when eventd/syslogd is not up, some conditional messages are too expensive to send to console by default

Do you have a measure how will this change improve?

We really do not have too much messages. So I bet only "some conditional messages" is not expensive, and dropping them do not help much.

Also unless you need bootstrap fast ( something like AWS Serverless Function ) then in most cases boot message are useful to help diagnosing / debugging .
